AN oLp.TAsu1oNEp MERCHANT.
He Gets tho Same Price for Goods Now
as Twenty Years Ago.


[Dry Goods Chronielel
In one OF the towns in nearby state
lives an eccentric retail dry goods mer-
chant, who never sells any goods unless at
profit. Unless he can do the latter he
prefers to carry them over year after year,
no matter whether they go out Of style or
not. In a financial point Of view this mer-
chant is well-to.do, and pays cash down for
all the goods he buys, therefore he Is in a
position to carry out his pecullarities. He
has goods on his shelves which has been
purchased quarter OF century ago, and
which have gone out and come into fashion
many times since. On the whole he has
for the life Of him, he says, understand why
so many merchants sell goods at loss,
and how SO many others fail. He never
offers bargains, nor throws out leaders,
but drives along In the old way. He has
never asked for an extension or compro
mised or failed, but has always paid his
bills promptly, dollar for dollar.
Some time ago competitive merchant in
his town called on him to get few yards
Of goods to match a piece which he had
sold to customer at 10 cents yard, and
his was the only store that had this class Of
goods on hand. He said: "Mr. Jones, |
want five yards Of such and such dress
goods to match piece sold some time ago
to customer. sold It TO the latter for
10 cents per yard to close the remnant out,
as the goods were old and out OF fashion.
What will you let me have 1t for?"
~ will sell It to you for the same price
32 cents per yard-at which / have been
selling It for the last twenty years-no
more, no less" replied the merchant.
Argument In This case was useless. IT
was either take the goods or leave them
alone. "He did business for profit and had
only one price," and the result was the
dealer had to pay the full old price, al.
though the goods can now be bought al
wholesale for one-third their former value
